In this episode, we sit down with John Risbridger to explore what it means to raise and develop emerging leaders in today’s church.
John shares openly about the ongoing call to keep growing as a leader, resisting the temptation to coast, managing energy as we get older, and staying curious, learning, and discovering. Together they discuss the quiet revival happening, and why more people are beginning to see the Christian faith as a credible option.
The conversation also covers blind spots in churches, navigating challenging cultural conversations such as immigration, and capturing God’s heart for the nations. John reflects on his passion for training leaders, the many different paths people take into ministry, and how churches can cultivate environments where people grow without falling into unhealthy patterns of power or control.
If you’re a church leader, planter, or someone passionate about investing in the next generation of leaders, this episode will inspire and equip you.

289 - Building Multicultural Churches (with Tony Thompson)
In this episode, we chat with Tony Thompson, long-time church planter, leader of Hope Church Luton, and passionate advocate for cross-cultural mission in the UK.
Tony shares wisdom from years of planting and leading churches in diverse contexts, including insights from his new book Building Multicultural Churches. He unpacks the challenges and beauty of creating church communities that reflect the rich diversity of God’s kingdom, not by flattening differences, but by embracing them.
We talk unity, race, mission, leadership, and how the Church can respond to the shifting cultural landscape with authenticity and gospel-shaped inclusion.
